Photographic frontispiece, illustrated endpapers, black and white and color illustrations, photographs, notes, index. "John Betjeman was probably the most popular poet in Britain in the twentieth century, but this does not mean that his work is simple or easy to explain. To write verse that rhymed and scanned was an achievement in itself in the age of vers libre; to make it sensitive, intelligent, frequently funny, but more often very sad, was the last thing one could have expected" - from the Introduction. Time Period 20th Century. Edited by Alan Powers. Illustrations by Peter Bailey. Locale: Britain. (Poetry, Poetry).
